Tauranga Cycle Plan summary

The council’s draft Long Term Plan allocates $20M towards the general implementation of the Cycle Plan over the next three years. Those funds will go towards planning and building cycleways in three areas of Tauranga where there’s great potential to get lots of people riding bikes quickly. These areas are:

Mount Maunganui to Arataki

Central city to Greerton

Otumoetai/Matua/Bellevue

Success in those areas will create momentum as we move to other areas of the city. Meanwhile we’re planning lots of other projects to make biking safer and more attractive. The Long Term Plan allocates additional funding to other projects that support the Cycle Plan, things like the Ngatai Road separated cycleway and the Domain Road upgrades.
